Potato Omelette

This is a new breakfast favourite mostly based on this recipe, with a few modifications to better fit my family's tastes. I hope you like it as much as we do!

Easy Spaghetti

This dish is an old go to, so old I had to make it to remind myself of what usually goes in. (Being on autopilot can be a wonderful thing at times!) It's a delightfully easy way to make a meal fairly quickly, and has been a staple for me most of the places I've lived. It can be made vegetarian/vegan easily, or beefed up (literally) as fancy takes one.

Craisin Bread Pudding

This is an adaptation of my main bread pudding recipe to use up (and celebrate!) the craisin. (Also, to use up all those pesky heels from loaves of toast bread that so few people want to eat.) It makes for a lovely dessert or breakfast or midnight snack, and is a nice twist on a familiar classic. I hope you like it as much as we do!

Bean 'n Corn Chili

This is a nicely straightforward, easy lunch or dinner. Any leftovers freeze nicely, and a variety or simplicity of toppings work well when it's served. I've based my recipe on this somewhat more bare bones recipe, so if you're wanting to build up your own recipe that might be a better place to start.

Easy Rice Kollyva

This is a variation of the rice kollyva recipe I began developing while I was living in East Asia, with twists here and there inspired by the Venezuelan baking and desserts that my godmother might have enjoyed during her years living there after World War II. When I'm particularly short on time to prepare kollyva for an upcoming memorial this is my current go-to recipe, but it doesn't hurt that I love the taste as well. Give it a try whether it's for a service or not - memory eternal to all of our departed loved ones.

Classic(ish) Deviled Eggs

This is yet another one of those 'I've made this forever, but I don't want to forget my favorite way of doing this' recipes. Deviled eggs were a childhood favorite that I don't eat every day solely because I hate peeling hard-boiled eggs - if it weren't for that they'd probably feature at most of my meals! I love the flavor the vinegar, dill, and smoked paprika bring to the end result, but if you're tired of this general variety of deviled eggs, then definitely give my Asian(ish) version a try instead!
